Annual Health Assessments (AHA)

In accordance with the New York State Health Code, Section 405.3, the health status of each employee, volunteer, student and affiliate is reassessed as frequently as necessary, but no less than annually, to ensure personnel are free from health impairments which pose potential risk to patients or personnel, or which may interfere with the performance of duties.

The Annual Health Assessment Questionnaire should be completed online through the Employee Student Health portal.

If you require mask fit testing for clerkship or clinical site experiences, you need to complete the annual Respiratory Protection Program education, "Respiratory Protection Against Infectious Disease," on Brightspace. Mask Fit appointments must be scheduled through the Employee Student Health portal. 

You must be clean shaven in order to complete mask fit testing.

If you wear a PAPR, you DO NOT need an appointment for testing, unless you have not received PAPR training or wish to have mask fit testing. 

Annual PAPR education (New PAPR Education) is available on Brightspace. 

If you need tuberculin testing, a lab order for QuantiFERON Gold testing can be sent to you or you can schedule an appointment through the Employee Student Health portal for PPD placement.
